The citizens of Elizabethtown join me in welcoming you to the World Wide Web site for the City. We are pleased that you have chosen to visit our community, which is located in the Heartland of Kentucky. Elizabethtown is a hub for several major roads including Interstate 65, U.S. 31, U.S. 62, Western Kentucky Parkway, and the Bluegrass Parkway.

Our population is approximately 24,000 and we take pride in both the history and future of our community. Many people visit Elizabethtown to see the Civil War sites in the area while others come to do business with the 61 industries located within the city. We also have shopping centers which bring shoppers from surrounding counties into the community.

We take pride in being a Family Oriented Community. The City maintains and operates 8 parks and a community center. Programs and facilities are available for people of all ages. Elizabethtown is the home to many fine grade and high schools, as well as the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC). Our residents enjoy friendly, safe, and attractive neighborhoods.

Elizabethtown is surrounded by many attractions. We are within forty miles of Mammoth Cave National Park, My Old Kentucky Home State Park, Fort Knox and the the Gold Vault, Churchill Downs, as well as numerous cultural and athletic activity centers. In addition, we are only eighty miles from Lexington, Kentucky, the Heart of the Bluegrass. There are many outstanding State Parks and Resorts within a two hour drive from Elizabethtown. Kentucky State Parks and Resorts are second to none!

Our citizens feel we have the best of both worlds - a small, progressive and safe community with job availability, close proximity to numerous attractions, and a network of excellent highways, which makes all directions easily accessible.
